'We' didn't answer anything YOU did and thanks for that. I'm not entirely sure that your standards would keep me out of the trade if I was honest about it.

I won't be travelling to Scotland until the spring apparently, but, when I am I'll let you know just so you check me out from my feet up. I even promise not to laugh when you realise you got it wrong just a little bit Mr Homo

Note to self: Just because it pops into my head does NOT mean it should come out of my mouth!!

So lets get this entirely straight.

Gary, MadJim and AliT want taxis in Edinburgh delimited, in order to allow drivers unfettered access to the tool of their trade, even though all three have benefitted financially through the selling of licenses in a regulated system.

They are asking drivers to invest in a business where they have no idea what the competition will be like within months.

Whereas Dougie believes the council should be allowed to sell the licenses on the basis of demand surveys, thus allowing the drivers time to pay off the debt they will incur in purchasing the license.

A system where plate numbers are capped and where drivers investments can be secure.

Ironically, Gary, MadJim and AliT claim to be the champions of drivers.

ffs

I think I'd rather catch a bus.

You really are the most stupidest person it has been my misfortune to ever come across, the point I'm making, you never know who is a rapist they even drive Taxi's', normal people understand this...... But you're not normal.... so you don't.

Justice for the 96. It has only taken 27 years...........repeat the same lies for 27 years and the truth sounds strange to people!

If you are denied unfettered access to the tools of your trade, and then your tools are sold or hired back to you at an artificial shortage premium. You can safely say you are being dictated the terms and conditions of your employment by those who treat you unequally. Discrimination is a consequence of the aforementioned inequality. Exploitation, is what it means to be turned into casual labour to prop up hiked rentals and artificial plate values that serve the vested interest group. It's the drivers and the public are the meat on the vested interest sandwich.

Water of a ducks back to me CC

Your spot on though, they realise there outdated argument for de-restriction is Now rendered insignificant

I can take rejection of an alternative view can THEY that is the question, is there brain preparing them to act in a similar way to Derek Byrd, this could be the reason they are coming up with this level of abusive tripe

If the council reject the New York model in favour of de-restriction, i move on and live and work with the rules set out in front of me, i don't fear the consequence of de-restriction, THEY fear the consequence of the New York system as it will make them feel more anger than they do just now, they have hope at the moment but on realisation of the fact there is really no hope of winning, well i fear the outcome will tip these guy's over the edge (FRB), This forum has the evidence to prove who amongst us of stable mind and who is not of stable mind

The case in proving who is unstable is Proven against JASBAR, your Guilty, go straight to a nut house do not pass go and hey don't collect your free plate

What about those who'll be profiteering from existing plates?

What about the new plate holders just parking their butts and shafting drivers who can't get a plate?

What about profiteering from the new issues on eventual sale?

But the biggest hole in your argument is that plate values would go through the roof if the system was adopted and thus set in stone - ever wondered why New York prices have skyrocketed?

Thus an economist would probably tell you that a driver will be no better off with a New York-style system in place - plates will soar in price, thus the driver would be better off putting money in a building society, since the risk premium will disappear; it's moving from the junk bond scenario to the gilt-edged security gig, from high risk to minimal, which just drives up asset values, in our case the value of the plate or medallion.

So what price did you have in mind for Edinburgh? Starting bids at £250,000?

It's like bog standard restricted numbers - looks OK at the very superficial level, but think about it a bit and it's a case of the emperor having no clothes.

Of course, in the highly unlikely event that a New York-style system was adopted then the main beneficiaries would be existing plate holders, who woud see values go through the roof. As I said earlier, the main motivation is the incumbent vested interests, who would benefit significantly, while the advantage to those buying in would be minimal.

Which is why it won't happen, but it's all just a wind-up anyway.

Worms, cans, that sort of thing. Anyone punting it would more likely hasten the demise of the current creaking edifice.

I say bring it on....but be careful what you wish for

Lots of questions.

But the ultimate one is of course keep a care home open or close it.

I think I'd know what the politician would do.

What takes the p*ss is that people are selling the plates anyway......everyone know's its going on, so why shouldnt an underfunded council earn the public purse some money?
